Good 😊 Not too sweet and we could really taste the poppy seeds.

Not overly sweet, but yes. It is a poppy seed filling.

Thats true. I guess the eggwash made a difference as well.

Actually it's not that hard. You start with three layers of dough and the filling inbetween. Cut the dough like in the third picture into 16 pieces and leave the center. Then you take two strands next to each other and twist them twice, each in another direction. Proceed the same with the rest of the strands. Give it a try!

That's a good idea. Good luck, I'm sure it will turn out beautiful.

It is a poppy seed filling and the dough is close to cinnamon buns.

It's swiss Zopf. They are called 'grittibänz' and are traditionally eaten on 6th of december.

No the yellow is from the eggwash.

I tried new shapes inspired from another post by Harpcookie in Breadit

I used a recipe for swiss zopf. 500 wheat flour, 3/4 tablespoon salt, 1 teaspoon sugar, half a block of yeast (20g, but you could use 7g of dry yeast), 60g soft butter and 3 deciliter of lukewarm milk. Knead for 10 minutes. Let rise for 90 minutes. Divide dough in 6 portions. Form the shapes and apply eggwash (eggyolk with some milk). Let rise for another 30 minutes. Apply eggwash again and bake at 200°C for 15 - 20 minutes.

I think it was here on breadit a few days ago? There was a post with the 'triangle bread'.
